Eagles Announce Exciting Development on Saturday

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Nate Lunak | Last updated Nov 22, 2025 1:09 PM ET

Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles are 8-2 heading into a Week 12 showdown against Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys. They're looking to stay hot and extend a four-game winning streak.

Hurts has been solid through 10 games. He has thrown for 1,995 yards, 16 touchdowns, one interception and a 107 passer rating. He also has rushed for 265 yards and six touchdowns on 73 carries.

As a whole, the Eagles' offense hasn't been perfect. They are tied for 16th in the NFL in points per game (23.4) and rank 25th in total yards per game (300.1). Unfortunately, the team has been dealing with injuries, including to starting center Cam Jurgens.

The Eagles announced the game status for injured players on Friday, listing Jurgens as questionable due to a concussion he sustained against the Detroit Lions last week.

On Saturday, though, in an X post, Philadelphia revealed Jurgens has been upgraded to "no status," meaning he'll be playing against the Cowboys.

Since being drafted in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Jurgens has become a consistent figure on the Eagles' offensive line. In eight starts this season, he earned a Pro Football Focus overall grade of 62.2, ranking 21st out of 37 centers.

Jurgens has recorded 440 snaps at center so far this year, committing just three penalties and allowing zero sacks. The center is an especially important position for the Eagles, essentially serving as the front blocker for the tush push.

Philadelphia's offensive line has struggled to protect Hurts. The team has allowed 26 sacks, which is tied for the 14th most in the NFL.

Having Jurgens healthy is important to improving that ranking, though, with hopes of giving Hurts as much time and protection in the pocket as possible. It becomes even more crucial as offensive tackle Lane Johnson has been ruled out.

Kickoff between the Eagles and Cowboys is 4:25 p.m. ET at AT&T Stadium. The game will be televised on Fox.
